#dosing-titration 2024-01-23

do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold

a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored

too early imo

the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess

whats the smallest step anyone has managed between doses

go slower

dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it

Inter-lab diff for lot A-2418: 97.4% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.

appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing

coming back to this i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten

steady state is 5 weeks

i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months

after a gap of more than about three weeks i restart one rung lower. thats my own rule, not advice
